"takata recall" at the beginning of your complaint description below, I purchased this used vehicle from a buy here pay here lot believing it would be a safe vehicle for me and my family I have been driving this car for a few weeks now and notice jerking/shifting issues while driving in motion acceleration both city and highways while turning etc. , component parts or system unknown, I believe this to be a safety issue/problem for me as the owner of this vehicle, thank you!.

Takata recall. This car was never recalled by the local Toyota dealer. Air bags failed to deploy in a one car accident. Camry went around a traffic circle and unexpectedly accelerated. The car hit a curb and hit a mid size tree. The tree was destroyed and the car totaled. The car was on a city street when the accident occurred and the air bags failed to deploy. The owner of the car had to go to the hospital for treatment.

I was easing into a parking space in front of a bank and was nearly stopped when my car suddenly surged forward. With a full plate glass window in front of me, I wrenched the steering wheel as fast and as far to the right as possible and don't know how I missed the concrete pillar I then saw immediately in front of me. The next thing I knew I was in the driveway I had just used to enter the parking lot in front of the bank. I then pulled back into the parking space I had just left and got out to figure out what had happened and to see if I had caused any damage. The only real damage was a light on the lawn I had evidently knocked loose from its base and tire tracks in the grass. The only damage to my car was underneath where a screw holding some plastic parts together was lost. I am afraid to drive my car because if this happens again, I may not be so lucky; people may get killed and property may be badly damaged.

I have a late 2006 Toyota Camry with a delayed accelerator response. The accelerator pedal requires more pressure input from the foot to get an acceleration response from the car. When starting out or making a turn from a stop, the vehicle has a noticeable lag in response to a slow throw input response often times requiring more force.

I have late Toyota Camry v6 with the similar to case #10348638 problems - a sluggish accelerator response though not related to stops. I noticed is on the second day after I bought a new car, brought it to a dealership service dept, was told that "a computer needs to adjust to my way of driving". Brought it again after a couple of years, no problem found. It does not happen all the time, but almost every day. I found it very annoying and dangerous when it happens.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) Toyota acceleration complaint March 24, 2010 odi number 10321792. Safety issue - 2006 Toyota Camry le on going problem - the vehicles engine will rev up and lurch forward while at a dead stop. Engine will accelerate and lurch forward on its own. Sensation appears as if there is another vehicle directly behind ours pushing it. Engine is specifications up to standards. It manifests at all speeds, but more noticeable at low speeds and at stops. My wife was stopped and idling at a traffic stop sign on east vestal facing eastbound at and the intersection of pleasanton road here in san antonio, texas. She was waiting to make a right hand turn onto northbound pleasanton road. While she was stopped a northbound bicyclist traveling on the sidewalk to her left began crossing the street. He was riding upon his bike and when his bike was right in front of the vehicle the automobile lurched forward and knocked him down. My wife had her foot on the brake however; this incident occurred very quickly that she could not react fast enough to prevent the automobile from hitting the bicyclist. The bicyclist assured my wife that he was not injured. He had checked his bicycle and it was not damaged and that the police did not need to be called. The accident so upset my wife that she ended going back home and not going to work that day. The contacted the Toyota service technician assured us that this activity was normal for Toyotas. This is why I am reporting this problem. This problem needs to be surfaced and addressed. I am sure that there are other Toyota Camry owners that are suffering from the same problem as we are. I have today contacted Toyota corporation here in the united states and the company has not addressed my concern or even acknowledges receiving my complaint. The bottom line is that I want this problems fixed. Thank you for your attention. [xxx].

Car hesitates when shifting gears, has done it since new only gotten a bit worse now that it is older. Apparently this has been a problem with these cars so why has there not been a recall and why hasn�'t Toyota fixed it?.
